I'd second CW's 3.5"... also get cars that are the max height & length you'll use (length would be for radius) <br />Check rails under bridges and where grade changes... this can be a 'surprise' defect in RP's clearance standards! (And a rude surprise!) You can get the cars to 'bottom out' or strike the upper level if the trucks are at one level and the center of the car requires another. Sooo... make those transitions in grade gradual. but also, have the equipment ready to check your work. <br /> <br />
